It is said that Napoleon called San Marco "the drawing room of Europe." And it is a breathtakingly beautiful place. But the square has long been a lure for massive numbers of pigeons, drawn by the massive numbers of tourists who readily feed them. While the tourists happily post for photos amid the flock, there are concerns that the birds' presence--and what they leave behind--will damage the centuries old architecture and art work.

I’ve visited St. Mark’s Square many times but truly enjoyed this visit. While the piazza was crowded and even flooded during high tide, the waters quickly diminished, the weather was beautiful and there are enough opportunities to get the perfect photos!

Although a narrow street , 'Frezzeria' is one of our favourite places to wander in the city, either in the daytime or at night after dinner the name Frezzeria refers to a collection of streets to the west of Piazza San Marco. Wandering along here is so interesting yes it has fabulous shopping, but our most favourite restaurant in the city is Osteria San Marco - very modern venetian dining, Masses of very different types of shops for all tastes, handbags, Murano Glass, exclusive boutiques, souvenir, lovely colourful leather gloves, fabulous Italian reading glasses/sunglasses, local clothing shops and many many more. Along Frezzeria, there are numerous narrow passageways that shoot off in all directions, one in particular takes you to Scala de Bovalo with its interesting staircase. If you keep on walking it eventually takes you to the Rialto bridge area. Louis Vuitton and Versace, the smaller labels like Bruno Magli are at t the southern end of the Frezzeria area, plus the world-famous Harry's Bar where you can stop for a Bellini, should you feel you feel like splashing your Euros for the experience. The Frezzeria apparently is where Byron stayed on his first visit to Venice. Great place either by day, or night when the shops are beautifully lit.
